“It took us awhile to get in sync,” Bulldogs’ head coach Richard Robertson said. “The things we have been working on we were able to get the job done in the second half. We were able to get it done with bench players, and that is a good thing. Red Level is a good scrappy bunch, and Coach Catrett has done a great job with them. As a former player of mine I’m very proud of what he has done.”
